How can I re-direct old links to my new site

Hi,

Would someone be so kind to advise me please.

I am moving my forum to a new domain name. Is there a way I can re-direct an old link to the new domain - ideally with the same link all that has changed is the domain name.

E.g

When someone clicks on a google link: www.myolddomain.com/forums/123-some-thread-title

The old domain re-directs the surfer/spider to

www.myNEWdomain.com/forums/123-some-thread-title



Many thanks

Benedict

Hello Benedict,

sure, assuming that both domains are pointing to the same host, you can add the following in forums/.htaccess right after "RewriteEngine on" line:
Quote:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !www.mynewdomain.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mynewdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]

Thank you for the quick response. However the new domain will be hosted on a different server/host :(

So, you should create .htaccess file in forums folder at your old host (old domain):
Quote:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.mynewdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]
